Iwajla Klinke

Galerie Suvi Lehtinen in Berlin presents the first major solo exhibition of artist Iwajla Klinke titled Crowns and Gladiola. Klinke's medieval-style portraits are inspired by Yona Wallach's poem Jonathan in which the author imagines herself as a boy being slain  by other children carrying gladiolas as swords. Her photographic work features images of young people and children in various roles, with elaborate costumes and the most bizarre styling we've seen lately, from dead birds and mice to meat and lit candles. Simply amazing.

Running from November 5th to November 26th, 2011

Logan White

 As you may have noticed, i often like to post reports about young female photographers, especially those who praise women and femininity through their work. Logan White is one of those artists that through their lens see not only a beautiful woman, but a muse, a symbol, a goddess. Her style seems inspired by wiccan culture featuring little psychic stories of ethereal witches, mythical female creatures or enchanting heroines in really amazing locations. She started shooting at the age of thirteen and by now she has built an amazing portfolio that many would be jealous of. Logan's work has already been exhibited in major cities like NYC, Los Angeles, Rome and London and her client list consists of big names like Urban Outfitters, Nylon Magazine, Vice Magazine, Bullett Magazine, Interview Online and more. Definitely a big hit! Don't forget to visit her website, you'll be thrilled.
